Luxury Textile Print Design
Overview
Description
I was commissioned by Dulce Bestia, a luxury fashion label known for bold, art-inspired statement pieces, to create a series of custom textile prints that could be used across a range of elevated apparel.

Deliverables: Custom Repeat Patterns, Logo Integration, Textile Application for Fashion Line

High-End Couture Design
My work focused on crafting high-end, repeatable designs that felt editorial, refined, and brand-right—infused with both artistic depth and commercial viability.
Van Gogh-Inspired Cherry Blossom Print
The most notable piece in this project was a custom repeat pattern inspired by Van Gogh’s iconic “Almond Blossom” painting. Dulce Bestia envisioned this as a signature print, blending timeless artistry with their modern edge.


Textile Considerations
- 
I designed a repeat pattern that honored the original painting’s softness and composition, while integrating Dulce Bestia’s logo subtly and tastefully into the design.
 - 
The result was a lush, romantic pattern that maintained a fine art sensibility while serving as a strong branding tool.
 - 
This print was applied to sumptuous velvet and luxe woven fabrics, used in a collection of bomber jackets, corsets, pants, and other statement garments.
 

Custom Snakeskin Print
In addition to the cherry blossom print, I created a bespoke snakeskin textile design tailored to Dulce Bestia’s edgy-meets-elegant aesthetic.
 
- 
This pattern was designed for maximum versatility and drama, used on fitted silhouettes such as leggings and structured jackets.
 - 
The final print struck the perfect balance between streetwear grit and high-fashion polish—mirroring the duality Dulce Bestia is known for.
 


Brand Sensitivity & High-End Execution
- 
Throughout the project, I prioritized:
 - 
Luxury visual detailing – ensuring patterns held up to close inspection and retained integrity across fabric types and garment scales.
 - 
Strategic brand integration – embedding the logo in ways that felt fashion-forward rather than overt.
 - 
Print adaptability – delivering assets that could be used across multiple garment categories with consistent alignment and color management.
 - 
The final textiles were produced using high-end printing techniques that matched the premium quality of the garments and brand ethos.
